Let’s keep it simple - The idea is to spin every day that the Tour de France is on, recording what you spin – fibre, singles or plying etc – every day. Add up the total length of yarn spun over the Tour.
You can join us in person for the start and/or finish – see below – or spin where ever you are and keep in touch by e-mail.
Spin whatever you like and as much as you like – maybe you want to set yourself particular challenges on the mountain stages or individual time trials. There are two official rest days – you can use these to catch up if you have missed any race days!
If you spun one metre of yarn for every kilometre of the race you would have enough yarn for ten pairs of socks!!! Look on www.ravelry.com for more inspiration.
